Close

Its getting close 
Closer than anything else before 
Closer and closer still 
Won't you just close your eyes 
Open them real wide nice and closed. 

Close them boxes 
Close your minds again 
Close away those demons 
Because the frozen statues of dream are close 
Closer than they've ever been before 

Building you up if I have to 
Change the plans to leave you stranded 
Plans that you know were never there 
Plans to change the world and revolutionize 

Close away the petrified prophets 
That laugh at all the shame 
Close away the unforgettable 
Because the better memories are close 
Closer than they've ever been before 

Won't you just open your eyes 
Close them real wide 
Nice and open
